How we score buildings

How 1281 Bergen Street's risk score is calculated

What's driving this score

These are the three data points that most influenced this building's score — ranked by how much weight the model placed on each one.

Building code violations (past 7 years)

Building code violations issued by the Dept. of Buildings (separate from HPD housing violations).

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market conditions and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Neighborhood location

The model uses precise location as a proxy for neighborhood-level risk patterns — some blocks have systematically higher violation rates.
